NFL Draft Homework: Outback Bowl

Northwestern vs Auburn, January 1st, 11:00am, ESPN

Top NFL Draft Prospects for the Outback Bowl:

1. Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern (Pictured)Wootton is the model of versatility, being able to play in both the 3-4 and 4-3, inside and out. He is still on the mend from a bad knee injury, so the Wildcats used him sparingly. Look for Wootton to use the Outback Bowl to jumpstart his late 2nd round draft stock.

2. Ben Tate, RB, AuburnTate is a downhill runner ill-suited for a spread offense. His low center and good balance will serve him well in the NFL. Tate should be seleceted in the 3rd or 4th round.
